"Show" Your Essays
Make your essays come to life by showing your story, not just telling
it. Involve the reader to make you essay more interesting. Don’t
just write a report on a life event; instead, discuss your dreams,
inspirations, and opinions. Try to seize the admission officer’s
attention and hold it with something special, unique and personal about
you. Pull readers into your essay and make your experiences and
emotions come alive. Remember, each admissions office is trying
to build a college community filled with diverse and interesting students;
by revealing who you are in your essay, admission officers will be
able to see where you fit in their campus community.
Make your essay specific and interesting.
To write a “winning essay”, you can use:
Detailed descriptions.
Detailed step-by-step actions leading
to the significant event or thesis of your essay.
Conversations with actual quotes from
people in the conversation.
